This outro was the most comforting tune ever for it being a few seconds, I never wanted it to end. This outro piece made you feel like EVERYTHING is going to be alright acting as a security blanket soothing the inner child in you. It also unlocks a flood of nostalgia feelings and memories to connect. I would compare this outro with Disney's signature intro.
@@cggg5089probably stand ins who vaguely resembly the cast, same with the bicycle scene from the opening. Same with any tv show since the interior layout didn’t match the exterior
And I always remember that when I thought that this iconic and beautiful end credits were just various transition sequences. Though, I know I must be thinking Full House, another show produced by Miller-Boyett. Still, as for the end credits of this show, the skyline of Chicago is so beautiful I can’t wait until it’s safe to visit some parts of that place and feel the nostalgic reminders of learning that’s where this show was set. By the way, I didn’t just mention Full House because Urkel himself had guest starred on an episode of that show himself. 😂😂😂
My 12 year old daughter binge watched Family Matters on Hulu. I can't help but feel such Nostalgia when I hear the closing theme. It just brings that feeling that it was a Friday evening, no school in the morning and when I wake up I will be watching Saturday Morning cartoons and eating pancakes and sausage.
I love the transition of the closing theme going from upbeat to uplifting. I always associate it with reflecting the week I had at (elementary) school and now tomorrow morning is the weekend starting with cartoons.
The End Credits to Family Matters (the earlier seasons due to the music track used) is one of my favorite TV sitcom end credits! Love the zooming out, revealing the skyline in the distance!
i love this show so much. it reminds me of the 90s. good shows and good memories of my childhood. they dont have shows like this anymore.... i love the ending when they zoom out so much as well. its so nice to see the neighborhood and the sun is setting. its kinda cozy

I just want to say how blessed I am and was to start watching this show when I was 5 years old after kindergarten and before youth choir rehearsal, I’m 31 years old now and this just bring back soooo many memories! I’m about to tear up 😭 just lovely Man...
Whenever the closing credits music started playing and the camera began pulling away from the house, I felt a sadness that I usually experience when I leave fun family gatherings. I miss the 80s and 90s so much!!
Macday000 WOW! Ive always tried to capture & express the feeling of the music...YOU NAILED IT 100%. My wife, 2 girls and I would be at that place too, because we'd always watched the show together, laughing and enjoying our Friday night. It just felt so right, us sitting there enjoying our evening together. That's part of that place i wish i could live in. My girls are grown with families of their own and I miss them. Thank you!
Sad that modern tv shows don't feature end credits anymore. Instead, you get the sped up, unreadable episode credits in a tiny rectangle at the bottom of the screen and promos and or commercials on the rest of the screen!
This reminds me of Friday evenings, coming home after school, having dinner with the fam, and heading down to our wood-paneled basement to watch TGIF. We were excited because we knew the weekend was ahead of us. Not a care in the world. I love my life now, but God, sometimes I miss those days.
Jesus Christ where have my childhood gone? I feel like I grow up so fast. I remember watching shows like this when I was younger. Sadly the only feel like yesterday. 😔
In the earlier seasons, I was used to the original opening and ending theme. This just feels so nostalgic. I actually watch the entire credit roll even with Carl reading out the production cues.
This gives me more nostalgia than almost anything. They show this on TBS late every night, they have for the last few years, and they always show the full end credits and don't scrunch them down or rush through them or anything. I always appreciate that. I love the fact that this is still being shown in its entirety on tv every night/morning.
The smaller they appeared from the window and how small that house got use to make me sad as a kid It felt sorta like when all your siblings or cuzzins when to six flags and you was left behind because of punishment
Aaow man I so wants me a series entirety of this good old-school show to watch on DVD. It bumps me with nostalgic vibes of how times back then in the days was just fascinating. Even though I was born in 1997, it interests me to wanting to discover things from the past my folks got to witness, and the folks before them and so on and on and on. Ya know 😌
HOLY FUCK YEAH!!! This gave me goosebumps!! I was so used to seeing it back in the day, but now it feels so wierd. you know what i mean? and this is one of the best closing credit sequences ever. Most shows play shitty ass music and let the credits roll against a black screen. But this closing sequence is so cool, that you could watch right to the end.
Matt McNally Do you even know what water down, sitcom are water versions of reality, when have you ever heard Carl Winslow say i fucking hate steve urkel, or fuck steve urkel, sitcom are not reality and make it seem like everyone should get along with one another and be friends, and how friendly everyone is when in reality everyone an asshole.
I’m a 30 year old man ... and the way this outro captures the city looks like the city that my grandmother lived in ... we used to visit her every week and as a child I thought this outro was a shot of the city she lived in lmao. Good times
When ABC decided to launch Family Matters, the intent was to create a star vehicle for Jo Marie Payton's Harriette. Along the way though, Steve Urkel (Jaleel White, Sonic the Hedgehog) joined the cast, he caught on with audiences, and Family Matters essentially turned into Steve Urkel and friends. Although Steve Urkel's character was named after a producer's friend and only supposed to appear once, the audience's response was overwhelmingly positive that the producers decided to make Urkel a regular character. Urkel merchandise included a talking doll, trading cards, posters, books, lunch boxes, T-shirts, coloring books, board games, jigsaw puzzles, backpacks, boxer shorts, pajamas, suspenders, bed sheets, sleeping bags, towels, poker cards, and a limited-edition cereal.
“Family matters is the Miller Boyett production In association with LORIMAR television. And it’s distributed by Warner brothers, domestic television distribution.” 0:32 love this part for some reason
Wonder what the characters are up to these days? Steve and Laura probably relocated to Queens, NY, and probably bought 702 Houser Street. Joey Stivic probably told them stories of Archie, and Steve probably said "Thank god I was just a damn black nerd living in Chicago and not here. Carl's insults I can take, your grandfather's, I can't!" lol
This is from episode 2-21, "Taking Credit" (15-Mar 1991). How I know Look at the production code at 0:27. Above the Lorimar copyright, the production code reads "#446472". I googled it, leading me to this episode's title
By S5 (1993-94), the Lorimar logo was gone for good, b/c Lorimar went bankrupt that year and WBTV bought Lorimar and also by S5, the new hip-hop-sounding end theme debuted in the ep. "Hell Toupee." By S8 and S9, Bickley-Warren and M/B became stand-alone animated logos. The Bickley-Warren logo came when someone turned off the TV and the M/B had the words coming in from sides of the screen, accompanied by a nice, soft piano music melody.
0:32 Family Matters is a Miller Boyett Production in association with Lorimar Television and is distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution
Everyone who thinks this show was a great one during the 1990's must remember that it started off as a spin-off from "Perfect Strangers" and would not have existed if not for that show.
Late season 2 (1990-91) or early season 3 (1991-92). This was the first Miller-Boyett/Lorimar series to have the Lorimar Television logo in-credit, instead of on its own (as on Valerie/Valerie's Family/The Hogan Family, Perfect Strangers and the first three seasons of Full House). I repeat: Family Matters never used this standalone logo at the end. th-cam.com/video/83vbPNOJEnk/w-d-xo.html
Lived on that street when they filmed the outside shots---we were on the porch next door left, when the helicopter flew in & out. Thats Prescott School on far left.
They are singing and playing the piano. Towards the ending of the very first episode, they are singing "He's got the whole world in his hand" while Rachel is playing the piano as the shot is zooming out towards the window, and the shot changes to this exact scene with the view of Chicago.
@@migueldisla2332 Technically it is supposed to be the shot of the ending of the pilot episode, where all the grown ups are singing in the piano room. Now the reason they look different, or weird, in the exterior shot of the house while the camera zooms out is because those were other actors playing the characters in the real life Winslow's House, since the show was shot in L.A. so the real actors were never really in Chicago. Even in the opening credits, when the family's riding their bikes on the bridge, the close-up shots are the real actors, but the shot when is shows them far away as the camera zooms out to show the city, those were actually doubles dressed as the characters of the Winslows.

Yup same here 💯
@@brandonburdette9670 yup, a kid was literally the best thing to be in the 90s!!
Me too!!!
Same here
I love how the camera pans out from the Winslow's house and out into the neighbourhood during the sunset. Beautiful.
How did the camera do that?

Facts 💯
I keep telling them
I was born in 1992.
Last great decade for sure
This is the most iconic end credits theme I’ve ever heard. Absolutely amazing 🙌🏽
❤❤❤

Omg yes the good old days and don’t forget the Nintendo 64 and the PlayStation 1
Omg yes I missed those days. TGIF was my Friday night getaway.
Same man, it’s such a wistful, nostalgic feeling. I can see myself watching TV in the basement, thankful that the weekend was upon us.
Yes!!!! Omg me too!!! ❤❤
The atmosphere of credits is just warms my heart with happiness!
Same man.. dude I wanted to always go in the house when I was younger.
@@motivationtheory6999 And now that house is gone in real life. 😢
@@loonylovesgood yea I heard

I agree with you
You put it perfectly.
Facts👌👌👌
Yep TGIF block of shows was the perfect transition from school to the weekend
"I love the transition of the closing theme going from upbeat to uplifting."
me too. the most nostalgic part, imo.
This shouldn't be just a theme for Family Matters. It should be the main theme for the 90's.
Instantly calms me.
I liked how the horizon looked like, as if it was the end of a summer day.
Takes me back to a simple time in my life.
Yes it absolutely does
Girl me too!!!
Oh yea :)
That music saddened me like everyone was going away forever and ever! 😢😭😔
I felt the same exact way whenever I saw it as a kid
Me too. :(
it's the sound of the 90s leaving us 😢
Right
The End Credits to Family Matters (the earlier seasons due to the music track used) is one of my favorite TV sitcom end credits! Love the zooming out, revealing the skyline in the distance!
I always loved that sunset and zoom out at the end, symbolic to how relatively good the era was for most of us.
i love this show so much. it reminds me of the 90s. good shows and good memories of my childhood. they dont have shows like this anymore....
i love the ending when they zoom out so much as well. its so nice to see the neighborhood and the sun is setting. its kinda cozy
Hope your ok
makes me cry a lil....no lie
Me Too
Same here tbh!!

Whoever's here just for the end credits, man ...especially this perfect syndicated version....yall are the real ones fr :P
Simpler times.
For real.
Hard to overstate how much this clip takes me back to middle school and how good it felt to crash in front of the TV watching TGIF on Friday nights.
So nostalgic...
Hearing this is an instant nostalgia trigger. Every single time.
I wish this song was a place, so i could live there
Macday000 WOW! Ive always tried to capture & express the feeling of the music...YOU NAILED IT 100%. My wife, 2 girls and I would be at that place too, because we'd always watched the show together, laughing and enjoying our Friday night.

Thank you!
love the end credit theme more than the opening theme
I did too
I love the build up starting at :25
Me TOO!
brings back memories...my choldhood...
these days were the best. i would do almost anything to go back in time. BETTER TV SHOWS, BETTER MUSIC, BETTER MOVIES, BETTER EVERYTHING.
Hell, I would even settle for going back to when you made this comment 15 years ago.
This outro had the best episodes of Family Matters.
Sad that modern tv shows don't feature end credits anymore. Instead, you get the sped up, unreadable episode credits in a tiny rectangle at the bottom of the screen and promos and or commercials on the rest of the screen!
I wish we all young again now of going back to the 90's.
Damn I truly miss TGIF
Every time I go to Chicago I pass by the house. Good times.
They tore it down.
If you where alive in the 1990's then you where!
What you just said made absolutely no sense.
I was only a toddler
I was living in So. Cal most of the time, my Dad was in the military.
I was born in 1991!
damn...time is unforgiving...I was kid when I watched this

Believe it or not, the ending music makes me cry. But when I listen to it, I don't feel sad, I always feel happy listening to it.
Ahh! The days of my innocence resonates with me in a nostalgic time when I was just a lil guy like 6 watching this. I love this ending theme.
In the earlier seasons, I was used to the original opening and ending theme. This just feels so nostalgic. I actually watch the entire credit roll even with Carl reading out the production cues.

The beat switch up at the end is godly
@yasmeen1617 I can't agree more. When you watched this go off, you knew if was Friday evening, and the weekend was upon us.
i always wanted to do the Miller Boyet, Lomiar WB bumper at the end.
Hearing this....reminds me I have Saturday morning cartoons and basically my whole weekend ahead! ❤
Got damn I forgot about that sax!!!!Lmao

by far the best ending credits segment of any tgif show.
